    You know if a game goes as far as detail to make you brew coffee via campfire before drinking it, or getting your weapons from a horse's satchel, or literally watching it's testicles shrink in cold weather, that this is game of the decade material.

On the other hand, those who give 0-3 must be troll PC gamers. Anyway, I myself have played the game for 10 hrs+. Still early, but I do agree with most helpful user reviews here. This game is overrated, the score should be around 7-8. However, I give a 8 because I respect the sheer amazing detail Rockstar has put in this game. I will keep short here since many most helpful reviews did a great job of criticizing the bad things. Besides, I might revise my review later once I am done with the game.

    Major Pros
    - Amazing Detailed World
    - NPCs feel like real persons. Many different dialogues.
    - Hunting feels fantastic
    - Side activities are good, I love hunting down wanted criminals.
    - Various mini games. (I like poker game)

    Major Cons
    - Control is weird and need a lot of memorizing (But become less problem once you get used to it). You may need to check online for clearer explanation of control since ingame does not give you a controller mapping. (why ?)
    - No Fast travel in early game ( You need to upgrade camp to get fast travel ability but it costs a lot)
    - Law is too restrict. Bumping someone can easily lead to gunfight and you get a fine for murderer. This is not right. In real life situation, you should be able to apologize
    - Chores - can't skip taking a bath.
    - Lack of freedom in term of choices. Most of the times, you will have only 2 choices, good or bad, nothing in between. For example, there was a main mission that I had to talk with the priests, I could only talked politely with them, like I was interested in their religion, or choked their leader to dead. This felt wrong to me. I should have been able to aim my gun and threaten them to go away.
    - No quick save
    - Main character attitude is unlikable for me. I personally don't like his voice as well.

    In Sum, RDR2 is great in detailed world but not as great in gameplay. It is still a good fun game if you have patience but the realistic should be optional. For people who want fast paced game, devs should give a choice to skip chore scenes and allow fast travel at the beginning of the game.. For those who hasn't played the game yet, I would advise to wait and see if Rockstar will have a patch to tone down the wanted system or not. I love its realistic though but as it stands now my Witcher 3 is much better game in comparison.    … Expand

    Initially I had a very hard time adapting to the feel of the game and its controls. I think coming from PC to a PS4 exacerbated this, as well as my lack of love for Sony's controllers. At about twelve hours in I was ready to give up; I was considering returning or selling the PS4 Pro bundle, and I also started browsing other games. And while I do still think the controls can be cumbersome, now at forty hours in, and having punched horses tethered next to mine too many times, by attempting to mount my horse, I've finally been able to simply get over it. At this point when I do play the game I find it difficult to stop. Graphically the game is stunning (aside from character faces). The audio is the real gem for me - sometimes I wish I can go to sleep with my character parked in one of the minor towns... It's among the best I've ever seen in that department. Further, everything has dialogue. I have no issues with the gun play, and again here, the audio puts the cherry on top. Most of the missions are very engaging with the exception of the scripted chases that get a little cliche. I do wish Rockstar would review the missions in their games where you have to sprint after someone requiring you to tap a button fast enough to cause carpal tunnel - it's seriously getting old and it's in no way fun or enjoyable - it's a chore. I still find the bounty/wanted system a bit wonky; at times, while in a new set of clothes and mask et al, when robbing a train I am quickly identified. The bottom line is this game is worth every penny. There are no micro-transactions (yet) which a lot of developers should take note of. The pace of the game is also perfect; with so much on hand that you can do the pace allows you to thoroughly explore the game and its regions... To the point where I find myself not wanting to move to the next chapter quite yet. This and AC Odyssey are the only two games this year that the asking price is actually worth the product. Anyone owning a console should own this game; I came from PC and purchased a PS4 bundle to get my hands on the game with no regrets. Is it perfect? Nothing is. But it's damn close.

    In the end the reader will have to take what I am saying here, and many others, with a grain of salt, as many of us aren't even done with the game. Ideally reviews should only be written after completely seeing a movie, listening to a record, or playing a game. Next time I'll take my own advice and I'll update my review should something need to be added or if my rating changes.    … Expand

    - Option to adjust survival mechanics like eating, cleaning weapons, clothing, bath etc.

Those reviewers either can't play the game on their PC, over-dramatize rare bugs, or just have some odd kind of hatred towards polished single-player games. Don't pay any attention to the 0's here. This game is as deserving of a 10 as any. The only fair gripe that can be made regards clunky controls and clunky movement from Arthur. There are alternative controller configurations, so it only takes a few hours to get accustomed to Rockstar's "heavy" movement response. All other complaints about the game on this thread are most likely unjustified and unfairly claimed.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth.

This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth. Red Dead Redemption 2, however, stands out as a pinnacle among masterpieces. You may, understandably, assume that I'm simply riding the "Red Dead hype wagon" but, unless the game drastically changes after the first 10 hours or so, this is certainly not the case.

    From what I've experienced so far, Red Dead Redemption 2 offers the player an unprecedented amount of options in what to do and how to tackle the, both optional and integral parts of the game. Fortunately these options do not overwhelm the player, but are instead revealed progressively, allowing you to first master what is already there. After several hours spent with the game I was still constantly being surprised by a steady stream of new features and added complexity to pre-existing mechanics.

    All this depth, however, wouldn't be worth 2 cents if it wasn't for the incredibly high degree of fine tuning and polishment that went into the game. The frame rate stays smooth and constant throughout the whole experience and, incredibly enough, so far I haven't encountered a single bug during my 14 hours of playing the game. Rockstar have certainly nailed the shooting mechanics, but there are also more discreet options for those who aren't completely certain that lead is the be-all end-all problem solver.

    To summarize: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must buy for anyone looking for a deep and fleshed out experience, that gradually unfolds during many hours of game time. It's not a game that you can rush through over the weekend (though, admittedly, I myself might in retrospect have been a bit too hasteful in order to experience as much as possible in a short time window). If you're willing to put in the time however, Red Dead Redemption 2 is guaranteed to offer you a complete and thrilling experience, brimming with possibilities for the player to discover. If I have one complaint regarding the game it's that it didn't come out sooner.    … Expand

    This is the greatest game I have ever played.

    Most game sequels of this calibre completely neglect their previously established characters and story because they don’t have the confidence to try and build on them in case they flop and just make everyone hate their previous work as well, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is different. It actually HAS that confidence. And it delivers. This is the greatest video game narrative ever written. The choice to make it a prequel and tie it back to John Marston’s old days in the Dutch Van Der Linde Gang is hands down the BEST aspect of this game. It harkens back to characters you love, so you instantly have that connection and uses that context to establish new characters you’ll know and love as well. Arthur Morgan’s struggle with morality and the inevitable outcome of his actions is one of the most engaging gaming stories ever told and is a great successor to John Marston’s story which was also brilliant.

    I **** loved this game and I think it’s smart that Rockstar are investing in their new IPs instead of just hashing out another GTA (which would’ve been the obvious financial decision). But Rockstar isn’t like that. They’re not EA. They have actual integrity and want to be remembered for their resonance, quality and hard work rather than just taking the easy decision.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is proof of that.

After so many disappointing games, it's finally here. The visuals look stunning. The gunplay and shooting mechanics are very satisfying. You can switch between third person and first person. The story and characters are well-written. The missions are fun and diverse. Horse mechanics have so much depth.

    There is so much attention to detail in this game. The physics are godly. If you run towards a tree with a horse, the player and the horse will crash and fall. The horse can also lose balance and trip if you put it next to the edge. The mud and snow physics are so immersive. There are so many customization options. Lots of animals to hunt with detailed skinning animations. The hand-to-hand combat is great. There is so many things to do in the open world, like fishing, poker, dominoes, interact with NPCs, cause mayhem, and much more.

    The online multiplayer isn't available yet but it will be coming soon. I am fully satisfied with the singleplayer, and the fact that the developers are adding multiplayer to this masterpiece is biblical. There is so much content in this game, I can wait for the multiplayer. I strongly recommend you get this game now. This game puts most "AAA" games to shame. This is the greatest game of this generation.

    Edit: I see that Rockstar likes to make stupid changes to their old games like GTA 5 Online, so allow me to do the same with this game regarding the score. No longer a 10, it's a 9. Let me be perfectly clear Rockstar, I only gave you a 10 because back in 2018 I had to find a game on Playstation to score a 10 so these developers wouldn't think I'm some Xbox fanboy for giving Forza a 10. Well I hope the developers see this, because I absolutely hate Xbox and Playstation has always been my main console since its debut. Anyway does this deserve a 10? Close, but no cigar. This game is indeed biblical and it has everything I could ever ask for in a full priced AAA open world game, but Dan Houser can't resist his obsession with movies and storytelling. If they were to cut down a bit on this movie stuff or make a biblical multiplayer experience, this would easily remain a 10. To this day, RDR2 is still jaw-dropping. Another criticism I have, where is the freaking next-gen version Rockstar? Jesus Christ are these developers so lazy. Ubisoft can give me PS5 upgrades for free. You know the gaming industry is horrible when almost all developers are lazier and greedier than Ubisoft.    … Expand

    No other game can / could do this so well until now, and I played nearly all (since the age of 3).

    The pace is slower, than GTA, or other action-games...but if you can reduce your BPM, and sync-in with the frequency of this Masterpiece, then you can experience something (a level of immersion, fun and Meaningful Freedom!), no other game can / could deliver until today.
    Did you climb up a barn, and sit in the window, and watched the sunset, while smoking a cigarette, and then observing the world through your binoculars, as the _autonomous_ inhabitans, NPCs, i.e. people, animals and all, live their life?

    As for people giving it a 0 because it isn't on PC. You can't review a game you haven't played so please grow up. Console gamers have had to listen to your comments on every gameplay video for every console game ever, saying the graphics/framerate etc are better on PC, and I am sick of it. No one cares that you have spent 5 or 6 times more and a machine to play games on. The performance may be better, but consoles are by NO MEANS bad. It's not just black and white, rubbish and amazing, there is an in between and RDR2 looks ridiculously good on PS4.

    Metacritic should remove anyone who mentions PC because they aren't reviewing the game, they are just sad and pathetic that they haven't got to play the greatest game ever made (by some margin as well). This isn't just a game, it's a life simulation set in the Wild West. Buy it and ignore the idiots who can't cope and need to get back to their mother's basements.

    Check the critic review score for confirmation, they know a lot more than the desperate PC fornicators. End.    … Expand

    So far, all I can say is: Wow! What a game!
    The beginning is a bit of a slow burn ( never boring just slow, still very interesting) bit once you get out into the open world everything sort of just clicks.

    The graphics. My GOD the graphics are spectacular! Everything from the falling snow to the mud clinging onto your clothes when you are wrestling with an npc. Textures are detailed and the world feels alive!

    Now onto the gameplay, and sorry for being brief on all this ( I want to continue to play after this)
    It takes a bit to get used to coming from GTA IV, V, and the original Red Dead Redemption. This is due to, from what I can tell, there being more weight to everything. From running to firing your gun. Some may call this slow and clunky, I call it more real. If that is what they were going for.

    Overall so far great job Rockstar! Once again you have not disappointed me!    … Expand

Slowing down the pace and really soaking in the game this time around has made me garner a greater appreciation for this mesmerizing open world. The slow pace of the game is not for everyone and those who blaze through the story will have missed a whole lot. That's what I see now that I'm taking my time. The game has some flaws to be sure, but it is a near masterpiece if not an outright masterpiece depending on what your game preferences are.

    The open world design on display here will be the golden standard moving forward for creating living, breathing game worlds. In that regard Rockstar have outdone themselves. I agree that some of the gameplay is clunky and the story is about as linear as it gets these days. Still the amount love and work poured into this game really shines through overall. I say take the advice of a lot of online sites and play the game as slowly as possible to soak it all. Go explore, find treasure, hunt, etc. Spend some time in the towns. On a second playthrough and I"m not even bored yet. I can't believe how much I actually missed on the first run.

    It's not perfect as there some glitches and well let's say the bounty system is kind of rigged and wonky at times. The law will basically always side against you in confrontation and it seems pretty unfair at times. Other times I had no idea if I was experiencing a glitch, logic fail, or if the bounty system was working as intended but just badly designed. I had some issues with the story overall, but that's really personal preference.

    ON the other hand, I love the slow paced nature of the shooting mechanics and all the stuff some people find tedious and unnecessary I find really helps provide total immersion in the game playing as newly iconic character, Arthur.

    Online, well that's another story. The same basic gameplay but a barebones world as compared to SP. There is work to be done there for sure.

    Overall though, I would give this game a 9.5 if I could, but have no problems giving it a ten here. I think it's up there with Witcher 3 as the games of the generation. It's truly a special product and you can see the love that Rockstar put into this. The level of detail is astounding. You can say it's unnecessary even, but it's there and it brings the world to life like no other game previously. Is it perfect? Nope, but what game has ever been? There are some flaws, but the overral package is amazing. I recommend that you shirk the naysayers and don't deprive yourself of the experience of playing this game. Hell, just rent it and try it out at least. You owe it to yourself to try the game and then decide if it's for you. Highly recommended, much better than GTA V and RDR 1.    … Expand

Another example is that your hair grows and you have to keep cutting it and shaving to maintain your character or you can grow out your beard to change your appearance to avoid being recognized if your wanted.

    Now, the gameplay really doesn't live up to the standard the story and graphics sets. Shooting pretty much just consists of pressing the aim button, after which the game instantly pretty much aim-locks on an enemy. This means that the shooting gets boring because of how much it helps you. Even the melee and stealth is very simple. Also, like in pretty much every other Rockstar game, the missions need to be completed in an exact way. You never get to choose your own approach, and the mission objectives are very specific. However, when exploring the open world, you'll get to spend your time doing other things, such as fishing, hunting, playing cards and just exploring. These things are actually pretty well put together, however the fishing and hunting quickly gets repetitive. It really feels like Rockstar's attention was on making a very detailed game instead of making good gameplay, with beards automatically growing, and of course, the infamous horse balls that shrink in the cold.    … Expand

    Having played and enjoyed Red Dead Redemption, I assumed I would enjoy Red Dead Redemption 2. Even so, it surprised me with just how swiftly it ascended through my top 10, oftentimes shredding the competition, to rest in the second spot of said top 10.

Even so, it surprised me with just how swiftly it ascended through my top 10, oftentimes shredding the competition, to rest in the second spot of said top 10.

    This game really is a marvel, and I must've thought to myself dozens of times 'how did Rockstar pull this off on console?' (PSPro user). Between environmental details, LoD, draw distance, animations, incredibly low pop-in, etc., it's at times difficult to fathom.

    Gameplay-wise, my biggest skepticism pre-release was the sim-like aspects I kept hearing about - from maintaining your health and cleanliness, to your horse's health and cleanliness, to keeping watch on food going bad, keeping your weight in a good range, keeping your guns cleaned, and the list goes on. Thankfully I found none of these things detracted from the main focus of the game even a bit. I could've spent eons hunting, fishing, and doing other non-mission activities if I chose, but only doing them sparingly was enough to satisfy both me and the game's requirements.

    Missions, be they main, side, or 'pop-up', I found to be excellent probably 90% of the time, with the remaining 10% being just fine. The writing in particular, as well as the voice acting and performance capture, all play enormous roles in making it all so interesting. The music surrounding numerous interactions and set pieces is spot-on, fantastic, with my only complaints being I wish I'd heard more of it when outside of these times, and why isn't the soundtrack released yet?!

    Arthur as the player-character is so well done, with Rockstar finding the sweet spot between pre-defined character and blank slate that other games struggle with. His character arc is told wonderfully, with the addition of his journal in game offering a fair amount of insight into his tale as the story rolls on.

    I'd say this game is often what you make of it. You can hunt and fish, play poker or other games, explore constantly, and do many things outside of outlaw-style activities if you so choose. It isn't always robbin' and runnin', shoot-em-up, action all the time, but if you want that, you can get pretty close...however, in doing so, I think you miss out on a lot of the immersion this game can bring.

    The game isn't without a few flaws, of course...

    The controls are unintuitive and inconsistent, which when you look at how much has been done in this game in every other area, it's a shame this critical section was done so sloppy. It took a good while for me to get used to them, and even then... You may have played some games where it seems you stare at the mini-map more than the wider world before you? This can feel similar at times, except rather than the mini-map, it's staring at the bottom-right corner for which button to press, because of the inconsistencies I mentioned (for an easy example, looting bodies is triangle, but looting items from a lockbox is square).

    Where combat is concerned, it takes it fiddling with the settings a fair amount to feel right, at least it did for me. Once I got it there though, I found it great.

    Lastly, most missions and side-quests, once you undertake one, means you do it right then, through to the end. There's very little going round and collecting quests to then do at your fancy. They are generally highly-scripted, with little room for innovation on the player's part. This didn't bother me that much, honestly - it was more the peripheral things. As an example, my not wanting to move up in a shooting sequence because I could hit the enemies from where I was perfectly fine...but my gang member along on the mission wanted to, and eventually they get far enough away I inadvertently 'abandon' them, and have to restart the checkpoint.

    That's that...despite my complaints and pre-release skepticism, as I said, RDR2 has leapt to nigh the top of my list of games. I've had a ton of fun exploring this world, and on my second playthrough now, doing things differently, and enjoying it all again!    … Expand

    I'm about 60% done with the game and ready to give my honest opinion about it. This is a tough one to judge. A tough one because everything that is not gameplay is pretty much 10/10. The graphics can't get much better on this hardware. The soundtrack is amazing. The writing superb. The world, ecosystems, NPC's awesome.
    And yet the gameplay is absolutely horrendous. Here is why:
    - The    I'm about 60% done with the game and ready to give my honest opinion about it. This is a tough one to judge. A tough one because everything that is not gameplay is pretty much 10/10. The graphics can't get much better on this hardware. The soundtrack is amazing. The writing superb. The world, ecosystems, NPC's awesome.
    And yet the gameplay is absolutely horrendous. Here is why:
    - The control scheme. I think every sane person can agree it's pretty bad. Complicated, unintuitive and inconsistent, no point writing an essay about it.
    - The actual controls of your character. The animation is very, very heavy. It's not realistic (unless Arthur is constantly drunk and drugged), it's impressive looking. While I'm okay with having running disabled in camp/certain situations why the hell can't I fast-walk outside the camp/buildings? The only three options available for the most of the game are: slow walk (you move even slower than NPC's), run and sprint. It's not immersive, it's immersion breaking. The only choices I have is to walk so slowly, my companions scream at me to hurry up and I can't effectively get anywhere or run which is way to fast to be immersive. The lack of fast walk outside the camp is just mind-boggling.
    - The mission structure is insane... ly bad. Missions consist mostly of walking/riding (read holding 1 button) while listening to dialogue. The rest of it is mediocre gunplay and heavily scripted events. Many people argue GTA followed the same principle (I don't like comparing these two very different series but for the sake of argument and mental exersise let's do this once) GTA missions indeed are structured comparably but driving cars in GTA is actually very engaging and one of the strongest points of the game (not to mention other means of transport such as helicopters, planes, bikes, you name it). In RDR2 riding horses is cool, but gets boring so very quickly the devs themselves decided to add a cinematic travel so you don't actually have to do it.
    - The scripting and autosaves are so bad, they give me flashbacks to 2003. Most of the missions have you follow a very specific path. If you walk too far you failed. If you don't go to X in time, you failed. You've fallen too far behind, you failed. Et cetera, et cetera. The game heavily punishes any kind of creativity, it wants you to do exactly as you're told and see exactly what you're intended to see. In addition to that checkpoints are sometimes awful (one example is while sneaking to a certain place: if you get discovered at any point you have to restart and the checkpoint is... before a 5-minute carriage ride). The post is too long as it is so I won't give many examples, but this is the first game in maybe 10 years where I've actually noticed a terrible checkpoint system.
    - No difficulty settings. While the gunplay is serviceable, the lack of difficulty makes the shooting sequence tedious as hell. Arthur can literally eat a few shotgun rounds before he falls and has a slow-mo op deadeye ability pretty much always up. The only difficulty there is comes in the form of incredibly clunky controls that can ocassionally get you killed.
    These are my main gripes with the game. I think RDR2 is an amazing piece of entertainment that fails hard as a game. My final score so far would be somewhere between a 4 and a 9 out of 10. It honestly depends on what you want from the game. If you want any sense of challenge, progress or mental exersise, there is absolutely none to find here. If all you want is to chill, take in the environment and watch a good story unfold this is the product for you.
    I've developed a love-hate relationship with RDR2 as I believe games should take advantage of the medium and use gameplay to enhance the experience and do things way outside the reach of the "traditional" entertainment. That's why it irritates me to see a product so caught up in itself, it forgot it's a game.
    If you've gone through this post this far, I want to apologize for any weird grammar you had to go through. This is not my native language and I was in a bit of a hurry but tried my best. Thanks for reading.    … Expand

    En cuanto a narrativa, que es el punto mas fuerte de este, es una gran historia que nos tendrá enganchados desde principio a final de esta misma. En mi caso me termine la historia en una sola semana lo que son al rededor de 60 o 70 horas de juego.

    En cuanto a jugabilidad que es el apartado mas flojo de este, no llega a ser un control que nos de la seguridad de estar al poder de todas las acciones que tomamos, incluso en ocasiones cuando queremos hacer algo y no funciona nos puede llegar a desesperar un poco.

    Técnicamente es un portento, no se puede decir mucho mas, es impresionante lo que se a llegado hacer con esta generación, en cuanto ha interactuar con el entorno también vemos un gran salto con este titulo, que junto con The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, son los que mas han hecho inca-pie en este apartado.

    En cuanto al apartado sonoro, es también de las partes mas cuidadas, una banda sonora magnifica y unos efectos sonoros trabajados hasta el ultimo detalle.

    En conclusión, uno de los mejores videojuegos de esta generación que no ha todo el mundo le puede llegar ha gustar, pero en rasgos generales salvo sus problemas en la jugabilidad es un titulo excelente.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an absolute masterpiece, and in many ways just as much a work of art as it is a game.

    After having finished the game completely and having started all over again, putting more than 100 hours into the game, it is for me now the time to write a review. And I'm in absolutely blown away. Never has a game had this impact on me.

    The amount of detail put in the world is unprecedented, the story and character development is absolutely amazing.

    The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is so beautiful, sprawling with detail. The sights are jaw-dropping and the people and wildlife in the game is so well-made, that I actually often felt like I was in the US in 1899. Everything in the game has a purpose, the people in the towns and farms live their everyday life and can all be interacted with in several ways. The animals behave realistically in a way, where I often caught myself just studying their behaviour. And the world itself is just so interesting, detailed and beautiful with so much to see and do.

    The story follows Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang and goes into detail with their lives in camp, their struggles to stay "free" and independent in an industrialising world, where there is no more room for the likes of outlaws. All the characters are deep and interesting, and it is possible to get to know all of them very well, should you so desire. And the end of the game, I felt I knew all the characters, and I was deeply moved by how the story developed.

    I do not want to get much more into much detail about the different aspects of the game.
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a very mature, slow-paced and in many ways realistic experience, which may not appeal to all types of players. But I promise you, if you give it a chance, this is a game like no other, with more depth than any other when it comes to the story, the world and the characters than any other game. The way alle these thing are put together made the game absolutely flawless for me.

    This is the best videogame ever made. Period.    … Expand

They have difference hobby, preference and personality. After GTA4, Witcher 3 and Skyrim, this is the first game among so many other games that I've played in years that make me curios and care about the NPCs around the protagonist. The world is filled with gorgeous places to visit, herbs to pick, animals to hunt, fish for catching, interesting random NPC to encounter, bar to drink and eat, poker to play, treasure to find, people to rob, bounty to collect, and so much more! The town events designs is astonishing! So many interesting things could happened around.

    Control : 9/10 (force walking in some places -1 point for me, it is OK but annoying)
    Mini-games : 10/10 (i swear to god, the poker and fishing mini-game alone are worth $59.99!)
    NPCs : 10/10 (conversation often contains some joke around. which is nice)
    World : 10/10 (everything feel so unique! hardly see any assets copy n paste like AC series)
    Physics : 9/10 (feel real in my opinion, and is way better than GTA5, some rare glitch -1 point)

    Combat : 10/10 (dead eye system kind of nail it for me!)

    It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]
